i saw it more than a year ago at tengis cinema in Ulaanbaatar
it was not bad. i think it depicted the clothes and stuff accurately. i even saw a cross on toghoril khan's ger.
i liked the scene when Genghis is enthroned, with all the shamans and musicians and the crowd.

It may sound strange! But Mongols don`t wear blue coat during war! In this movie Mongols wore blue coats! The color of war is Red. The god of War Ulaan Sahiusan Tengri has red skin!(Also known as Namsray). Ofcourse the flag should be blue. So Mongol warrior will try find red material & make redish deel=coat. Red color is color of Blood, War and Fire. (Brown, black,grey is also good choice) Good color choice :  During festivals...ofcourse blue(=color of happyness) is the best choice. Word "Huh Mongol"=blue Mongol does not mean Mongols dressed in blue! Word "Huh mah"=blue meat means "strong meat"="muscule" |

Well, last time I saw an authentic set of medieval plate mail armor it was $7499. That set was way too small to fit me though if I ever wanted to wear it, so I went to look at another set which was much more wearable - even though yes, they are only supposed to be for show (but for me, I don't buy stuff just to shove them in a corner of a room).
Ne ways that armor was 15th century era, at $12499 (why they ALWAYS subtract the 1 dollar). So yeah, I kinda gave up on full suits of armor since then. Though, it was a good idea at a time, be a Tincan for a day. Swords are already at $300+ here in Australia.

Good grief, why do we have to endure all this bovine excrement on screen? I cannot think of any good excuse for movies about the Great Khan to be full of historical fiction, to distort what we do know so badly. I suppose the Hollywood oldie with John Wayne in the title role, well, not much could be expected of that. But now we are in the post-Soviet period, Mongolia is independent and so to a degree are several other nation-states that can reasonably regard themselves as successor states to the great empire. They all should feel an interest in not misleading people who see movies.
How's this for a proposal: the government of Mongolia sponsors a film biography that has as a basic principle not to contain anything contrary to known history. Of course the script writers have to invent things--we don't have shorthand transcripts of what they actually said, sometimes plausible motives would probably have to be supplied--but they can stay within the boundaries of accepted historical knowledge--no nonsense like the last half hour or so of the Russian movie, no engagement of Borte to Jamukha, no Shao-Lin instructors in Mongolia (I suppose something of that sort might have happened under Kubilai, but I would avoid it even in a movie about that generation in China unless there were some historical basis). And for heaven's sake get the archery and swords and haircuts right!
The photography and various other features of the Russian movie were fine. I actually joined this forum after seeing it because I felt conflicted--really liking the good aspects but seriously pissed off by the, ah, camel dung features; I needed to talk to someone who knew enough to understand the irritation, and a Google search brought me here, where I am delighted to find an international group of mostly young people with a serious interest in the history. What we now need is movie-makers with the same mind set.
